Michigan State Police investigating the shooting death of a Sterling Heights working mother today asked the public to review a photograph of a vehicle that was seen following the woman the night she was later found shot to death on Interstate 75 in Detroit.

The Dodge Stratus, believed to be a gray or silver 2004 to 2006 vehicle, trailed behind 33-year-old Jennifer Ann Scavone as she left her job as a waitress at Bouzouki Lounge nightclub in Detroit’s Greektown neighborhood in the early-morning hours of Feb. 9. Her body was later found on northbound I-75 near Mack Avenue.

Investigators say they’ve received numerous tips from the public about the shooting and the car being sought but so far none of the tips have led police to the killer, according to Lt. Michael Shaw.

“We are asking the public to re-visit the photograph to see if they can come up with anything to help point us in the right direction,” Shaw said.

Police obtained a photograph of the car from a security surveillance camera of a business near the topless bar in Greektown. The vehicle is missing both the front wheel covers and may have damage to the trunk lid and right front quarter panel.

Shaw said surveillance video indicates the vehicle was following Scavone after she left work.

Scavone was found dead about 3:39 a.m. on the side of I-75 near Mack Avenue, slumped over the steering wheel of her parked vehicle. A state courtesy patrol driver discovered her bullet-ridden GMC Yukon SUV with the engine idling. An autopsy she determined she died from multiple gunshots.

At the time of her death, Scavone was involved in a custody dispute with the father of one of her two children.

Hours before she was attacked, the father, Josef Zbercot, 33, of Roseville, was sentenced to serve 60 days in the Erie County Jail in Ohio after pleading guilty to gross sexual imposition for a sexual assault involving an 11-year-old boy. Scavone was listed in court records as a witness in that case.

Because of the father’s conviction, Scavone was attempting to terminate Zbercot’s parental rights to their son in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens. A probate judge has granted guardianship to Scavone’s father instead of the boy’s father.

Police have said they were looking at Zbercot and the custody issue in their investigation, but add they are keeping an open mind as they try to determine who shot the woman.

“We haven’t ruled out anything or anyone,” Shaw said. “We do not have a motive. We’re pretty sure there are some people who know this car and what may have happened. We’re trying to refresh the public’s mind to see if we can generate some new information.”

State Police ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information on the car to call the MSP Metro Post Tip Line at 248-584-5740.
